The hotel gardens includes unique and special plants and trees which provide a home for birds and small animals. Garbage is collected by the 'Women's Environmental Group'. In addition the hotel is committed to reduce the amount of water use for washing and showering.

Rain water and low energy light bulbs are used in the hotel. As the demand for fuel and water increases the hotel uses other resources, like solar energy, recycled kitchen oil and 'grey water'.

The Summit has a famous bar and restaurant, beautiful gardens and terraces, an outdoor pool, beauty salon, business centre, conference and meeting facilities, room service , wireless internet and telephones from all rooms.

It was founded in 1978 by a group of Dutchmen who had - and still have - a great affinity for the country, its mountains, people, history and culture.

Together with a small group of Nepalese - some are still working at the Summit Hotel - they built 36 Garden Wing rooms and in 1990 the Himalayan View Wings. Currently the hotel offers 73 rooms and employs some 150 Nepalese employees. A Nepalese and an English managing director are currently in charge of the daily management. They are supported by a Dutch Board of Directors and 8 shareholder families.
